No tariffs on Russia, interestingly enough.
All actions by this administration point to Trump working in cahoots with Putin, which we were told was "a hoax".
The White House dressing down of Zelensky, and this week Russias investment chief in the US, and just scads of obvious daily reminders that Trump has no bad words for his pal. Odd.
Tariffs on our friends and allies while he speaks of dropping sanctions on Russia and meanwhile levies no tariffs upon goods from Russia, zero. Odd.
Countries like North Korea and Russia are already covered by sanctions
There are secondary tariffs on those countries who buy from Russia and Venezuela or Iran. i.e. if you buy oil from Venezuela, then your export of clothing will invite 25% tarrifs.
Are the two mutually exclusive? Because using the same formula they apply to other countries, Russia would have tariffs as high as 84%. (I confess to using an LLM to get me the data.)
And you think Penguin islands have more trade?
